Hi lovers of Life and Lovers of Ayurveda, which is the Science of Life and the Art of healing and living in balance with Nature. Ready for our tip this month?
>As soon as you wake up in the morning drink a glass of warm water with lemon before your coffee or juice.
Drinking water first thing in the morning stimulates your digestion, helping to flush out the toxins so you can begin your day feeling hydrated and cleansed.
But adding lemons makes your morning water hydration station a magical elixir!

Fresh Lemons
There are over 30 health benefits of lemons, but perhaps the greatest anti-aging and cancer-preventative benefit is that lemons contain bioflavonoids that contain free-radicals will normalize pH levels, which cancer cells are believed to thrive in highly acidic environments. lemons lower acidic levels making your body more akaline, thus reducing the chances of developing disease. Lemons also help with phlegm and asthma, provide a boost to your digestion track, helping you to have that important morning bowel movement which is essential for good health.
Lemons also contain potassium which help lower cholesterol levels. lemons also stimulate your liver to produce bile to aid digestion and also contain Vitamin C which is an essential vitamin to prevent scurvy.
Lemons also help balance blood sugar levels and help diabetics.
So go to Trader Joe’s and get a bag of organic lemons every week and my note to pittas is that if you get too heated from the lemon you can substitute lime which is more cooling.
OM Shanti
May you stay hydrated and may your urine never be a deep rich color, but the color of straw.
